No real point here, but Dick Cheney was on NASCAR 2 weeks ago. That annoys me, because I don't like to mix sports and politics, but he is vp so it doesn't have to mean anything. (but it does since Darrel Waltrip nascar announcer campaigned for the repub party). j
Anyway, he said he hasn't driven a car since the nomination announcement in 2000 or whenever it was. The secret service immediately took over. That makes sense, but it does show the level of disconnect that our modern system has put on our leaders.
Perhaps his age, medical conditions, and hand eye coordination would prohibit him from passing a drivers exam anyway? There must be a joke here somewhere. leave it be.
